No other by-products were detected by gas chromatography. Once the hydrogen peroxide was consumed completely, the catalyst precipitated from solvent, and the results of the catalyst recycle showed that the catalyst had high stability.

Styrene epoxidation catalyzed by polyoxometalate/quaternary ammonium phase transfer catalysts: The effect of cation size and catalyst deactivation mechanism

Catalytic epoxidation of alkenes is an important type of organic reaction in chemical industry,and the deep insight into catalyst deactivation will help to develop new epoxidation process.In this work,series of quaternary ammoniums bearing different cationic sizes,i.e.MTOA+(methyltrioctylammonium,[(C_(8)H_(17))_(3)CH_(3)N]+),HTMA+(hexadecyltrimethylammonium,[(C_(16)H_(33))(CH_(3))_(3)N]+) and DMDOA+(dimethyldioctadecylammonium,[(C_(18)H_(37))_(2)(CH_(3))_(2)N]+) were incorporated with polyoxometalate (POM) anions to prepare phase transfer catalysts (PTCs),which were used in the styrene epoxidations.Among them,(MTOA)_(3)PW_(4)O_(24)exhibits the best catalytic performance judged from the highest styrene conversion rate(52%) and styrene oxide selectivity (93%),during which the styrene epoxidation conditions were optimized.Meanwhile,the deactivation mechanism of this kind of PTCs was proposed firstly,i.e.in the case of low H_(2)O_(2) content,the oxidant can only be used in the styrene epoxidation,in which the catalyst can transform into stable Keggin-type POM.But when the content of H_(2)O_(2) is higher,the excess H_(2)O_(2) can reactivate the Keggin-type POM into active (PW_(4)O_(24))_(3)-anions,which can trigger the ring-opening polymerization of styrene oxide.Consequently,the catalyst is deactivated by adhered poly(styrene oxide)irreversibly,which was determined by NMR spectra.In this situation,the active moiety{PO_(4)[WO(O_(2))_(2)]_(4)}_(3)-in phase-transfer catalytic system can break into some unidentified species with low W/P ratio with the presence of epoxides.This work will be beneficial for the design of new PTCs in alkene epoxidation in fine chemical industry.

Selenium-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation of 2-aminobenzyl alcohol to give 1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one

An efficient,economical,and phosgene-free approach was developed for the preparation of l,4-dihydro-2H-3,l-benzoxazin-2-one from 2-aminobenzyl alcohol.In terms of its key features,this reaction uses the cheap and recyclable non-metal selenium as a catalyst instead of the noble metal palladium;carbon monoxide as a carbonylation agent instead of virulent phosgene or one of its derivatives;and oxygen as an oxidant.The selenium-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation reaction of2-aminobenzyl alcohol proceeded efficiently in a single pot in the presence of triethylamine to afford l,4-dihydro-2H-3,l-benzoxazin-2-one in 87%yield.Furthermore,the selenium catalyst was readily recovered and recycled,affording a product yield of 80%after five cycles.

Phase-transfer interface promoted corrosion from PtNi10 nanoctahedra to Pt4Ni nanoframes

A novel two-phase approach towards the corrosion of PtNil0 nanoctahedra has been developed. In this strategy, the active component of Ni in oil-soluble PtNil0 nanoctahedra which resided in the upper toluene phase, suffered from etching and was then transferred into a lower aqueous phase with coordination by ethylenediaminetetraacetate （EDTA）. Due to the existence of the phase-transfer interface promoted by EDTA, the corrosion reaction proceeded at an accelerated rate under the mild conditions. Specifically, the resultant products of octahedral Pt4Ni nanoframes were successfully fabricated for the first time, and PtNi4 porous octahedra could be obtained when the dosage of EDTA-2Na was reduced. After a systematic study of this two-phase system, a ＂synergetic corrosion＂ mechanism is proposed to account for the formation of octahedral Pt4Ni nanoframes, involving contributions from many species （i.e., O2, H2O, H＋, OAm, and EDTA^4-）. As a result of the fascinating three-dimensional geometry of Pt4Ni nanoframes and PtNi4 porous octahedra, both of the corroded nanocrystals showed superior activity over the pristine PtNi^o nanoctahedra for ethanol electrooxidation in alkaline media and hydrogenation of nitrobenzene.

Asymmetric Fluorinative Dearomatization of Tryptophol Derivatives by Chiral Anion Phase-Transfer Catalysis

An asymmetric fluorinative dearomatization reaction of tryptophol derivatives was developed via chiral anion phase-transfer catalysis. Vari- ous fluorinated furoindolines were obtained in moderate to excellent yields and enantioselectivity in the presence of Selectfluor. The preliminary mecha- nistic studies suggested the existence of an in situ formed tryptophol boronic ester plays a critical role in determining the enantioselectivity. This method features the facile introduction of a fluorine atom in a highly enantioselective manner and construction of two contiguous quaternary stereogenic cen- ters.

Phase-transfer catalysis of a new cationic gemini surfactant with ester groups for nucleophilic substitution reaction

A highly effective phase transfer of a quaternary ammonium gemini surfactant with ester groups（（diethylhexanedioate） diyl-a,v-bis（dimethyl dodecyl ammonium bromide） referred to as 12-10-12）was synthesized with high yield and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and1 HNMR. Then, 12-10-12 was used as a phase transfer catalyst to study the catalytic effect on the reaction of anhydrous sodium acetate and 4-methylbenzyl chloride. The possible catalytic mechanism and the influence of surfactant concentration, temperature and type are also discussed. The experimental results showed that the catalysis efficiency was more active than the traditional, single-chained surfactant,tetrabutyl ammonium bromide. It also revealed that the reaction was first-order with respect to the concentration of 4-methylbenzyl chloride. The concentration of 4-methylbenzyl chloride grew linearly with the concentration of 12-10-12 and as the reaction temperature increased. The optimum reaction time was 7 h.

Infrared spectra were used to analyze the behavior of the phase transfer of catalyst. In this system, the catalyst not only can act as homogeneous catalyst but also as heterogeneous catalyst to be easily filtered and reused.

The selective oxidation of cyclopentene by aqueous H2O2 using H3PW12O40 and tetrabutyl ammonium bromide(TBAB) as a phase transfer catalyst has been investigated. The results show that the presence of TBAB significantly improved the oxidation selectivity of cyclopentene. The effects of the reaction conditions on the conversion of cyclopentene were investigated in detail. The optimal reaction conditions are as follows: the H3PW12O40 to TBAB molar ratio, 1:1–1:3;H3PW12O40 to cyclopentene molar ratio,0.54:100–0.64:100;and molar ratio of H2O2 to cyclopentene, 1.6:1. The conversion reached to 59.8% in 4h at 35.0 ℃, while the selectivity of glutaraldehyde was 38.0% and the selectivity of 1,2-cyclopentanediol was 55.6%. In addition, a route for oxidation of cyclopentene by aqueous H2O2 using a heteropoly acid and quaternary ammonium salt as a phase transfer catalyst was proposed.

One-pot synthesis of cyclic aldol tetramer and ?, β-unsaturated aldol from linear aldehydes using quaternary ammonium combined with sodium hydroxide as catalysts

One-pot synthesis of cyclic aldol tetramer and α, β-unsaturated aldol from C3-C8 linear aldehydes using phase-transfer catalyst（PTC）, quaternary ammonium, combined with sodium hydroxide as catalysts was investigated. Butanal was subjected for detail investigations to study the effect of parameters. It was found that the selectivity of cyclic aldol tetramer depends greatly on the operating conditions of the reaction, especially the PTC/butanal molar ratio. The average selectivity of 2-hydroxy-6-propyl-l, 3, 5-triethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde（HPTECHCA） was 54.41% using tetrabutylammonium chloride combined with 14%（mass fraction） Na OH as catalysts at 60 ℃for 2 h with a PTC-to-butanal molar ratio of 0.09：1. Pentanal was more likely to generate cyclic aldol tetramer compared with other aldehydes under the optimum experimental conditions. Recovery of the PTC through water washing followed by adding enough sodium hydroxide from the washings was also demonstrated.
